About the IP-SIG

In 2008 the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) established a Special Interest Group for Irish Palatines (IP-SIG). This was the first SIG within OGS and is open to anyone interested in exploring the common heritage of German Protestant origins and subsequent migration from the Rhineland-Palatinate to Ireland.

As a Special Interest Group within the OGS, the IP-SIG will:

develop regular communications with its members

offer educational sessions at the annual OGS conference

provide opportunities for the members to gather together

produce occasional publications to inform its members of Irish Palatine history and genealogy.
